Nonprofit Overview

Mission: To provide free monthly groceries to food-insecure residents of las cruces and dona ana county, new mexico; increase public awareness of hunger in our area; and advocate for systemic changes to alleviate hunger.
Programs: The las cruces food security program provides 6 regularly scheduled nutritious food distributions per week at our flagship pantry. We also distribute nutrition and health education resources.
the rural food initiative provides free monthly distributions to rural residents of dona ana county in these locations: chaparral, anthony, berino, vado, la mesa, mesquite, tortugas, dona ana, radium springs, rincon, hatch, butterfield and garfield.
the children's summer food program provides parents and caregivers of school-age children the opportunity to receive up to six additional food distributions during the summer months from may 15 to august 15. The program partially offsets the loss of free/subsidized breakfasts and lunches available during the school year.
